Issue Cause Solution
Burning command fails and the
following message is printed on
screen:
-E- Can not open 06:00.0: Can not
obtain Flash semaphore (63). You
can run "mstflint
-clear_semaphore
- d <device>" to force semaphore
unlock. See help for details.
Semaphore can be locked for any
of the following reasons:
Another process is burning
the firmware at the same
time
Failure in the firmware
boot
Burning process was force-
fully killed
In a Multi-Host
environment, another Host
is cur- rently burning the
firmware
If no other process is taking place at
the same time run the following
command: mstflint -d <device> --
clear_semaphore
OR
Reboot the machine.
Burning tool fails with the
following message:
–E– Unsupported binary version
(2.0) please update to latest
mstflint package.
The binary version is incompatible
with the burning tool.
Update mstflint to the latest
package.
Burning tool fails with an error
mentioning Firmware time
stamping e.g
-E- Burning FS3 image failed:
Stamped FW version missmatch:
12.16.0212 differs from
12.16.0230
The device was set with a
timestamp for a different firmware
version than the one being burnt or
the image is stamped with an older
timestamp
Either set a newer timestamp on the
image than there is on the device,
or reset the timestamp completely.
mstflint -d <device> ts reset mstflint
-i <image> ts reset
Burning the image on Controlled
FW (default update method:
fw_ctrl in 'mstflint -d <device>
query full' output), fails with:
-E- Burning FS3 image failed: The
Digest in the signature is wrong.
The image was changed without
calculating the new digest on it
with 'mstflint -i <img.bin> sign'.
Run 'mstflint -i <img.bin> sign', and
retry.
Secure Firmware Related Issues
Issue Cause Solution
Changing device setting such as ROM/ GUIDS
using the relevant mstflint commands result in
failure with the following error:
-E- <Operation> failed: Unsupported operation
under Secure FW
Secure Firmware does not allow
changes to the device data unless
burning new Secure Firmware
image.
